Scabiosa seeds — pincushion flowers for bees

Scabiosa, the pincushion flower, holds its domed, pin-studded blooms on wiry stems in lavender-blue, deep maroon, pink and white — endlessly nodding above the border and irresistible to bees and butterflies. It sits within our cut flower seed range, with the dark-flowered species offered as Scabiosa atropurpurea. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Few flowers keep pollinators as busy — the calendar shows when to sow.

A cutting and pollinator favourite

Long, wiry stems and a long vase life make scabiosa a backbone of the cut-flower patch, while the nectar-rich pincushions are a magnet for our pollinator-friendly flowers. For the deep-maroon form, see Scabiosa atropurpurea.

Growing scabiosa from seed

Sow under cover in spring or direct once the soil warms, barely covering the seed. Give it full sun and free-draining ground, and cut or deadhead often — the more you pick, the longer it flowers, carrying on right through summer into autumn.

Building a cutting or pollinator patch? Here's where to look next.

Popular flower categories: Scabiosa atropurpurea · Cut Flowers · Pollinator Flowers · Bee-Friendly Flowers · All Flower Seeds

At SeedsChoice, every order ships from Meppel, NL with fast, tracked EU delivery.

Why is scabiosa called the pincushion flower?
The domed flower heads are studded with protruding stamens that look like pins in a pincushion. Is scabiosa good for cutting?
Yes — its long, wiry stems and good vase life make it a cut-flower favourite, and picking keeps it flowering. When should I sow scabiosa seeds?
Sow under cover in spring or direct once the soil warms. See our flower sowing calendar for timing. Is scabiosa good for pollinators?
Very — the nectar-rich pincushions are a strong draw for bees, butterflies and hoverflies.
